When does D3 get to start practicing?

Re: When does D3 get to start practicing?

10/15 or thereabouts. I think this year it is the 18th.

Correct on 10/15, per the NCAA Women's Sports Inventory handbook. It also states the first contest can be held on...

Thanks. I knew it was sometime around mid month but didn't remember if it fluctuated each year. So you're saying games can start on October 30th this year. That gives them 2 weeks to get ready to play. Aren't the NESCAC schools similar to the Ivy League schools in D1 in that they start later than everyone else?

Yep. They start play the week after the football season ends. Practice, I believe, starts 2 weeks after everyone else - so around Halloween.

NESCAC schools can't start winter season until fall sports season is done. So, traditionally, they can't hold official practices until 1 November.
